Current Attempt in Progress (Buoyancy, force on plane surface) A cube, 4.0 ft on a side, weighs 2950 lb and floats half-submerged in an open tank as shown in the figure below. For a liquid depth of 9.8 ft, determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the location of the force of the liquid on the inclined section AB of the tank wall. The width of the wall is 8.8 ft. Show the magnitude, direction, and location of the force on a sketch. 9.8 ft (a) FR = (b) YR= 4.0 ft Liquid Cube A B Wall width =8.8 ft 27° lb on centerline ft along wall from free surface
